Industrial Independent School District (Isd)

The Industrial Independent School District (Isd) serves 1,156 students across four schools—two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school—in a highly ranked Texas district that places in the 92nd percentile statewide with a 5-star rating.

Industrial High School is the district’s standout performer, earning a 5-star rating and climbing to the 96th percentile in its latest ranking, with exceptional test scores well above state averages, a 96.6% graduation rate, and a low 0.6% dropout rate. Industrial J H excels in advanced math, achieving 100% proficiency in Algebra I for two consecutive years, though its overall ranking has slipped from the 96th to the 89th percentile, and 7th-grade math proficiency (31.82%) is a weak point. Among the elementary schools, Industrial Elementary West (4-star rating, 81st percentile) consistently outperforms Industrial Elementary East (3-star rating, 67th percentile), particularly in 5th grade where West’s proficiency rates (66% Reading, 46% Math) far exceed East’s (39.58% Reading, 35.42% Math). Notably, Elementary East serves a higher percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch (51.89%) compared to West (23.1%), and despite spending more per student ($10,297 vs. $9,563), it achieves lower results, highlighting that resource allocation and student challenges are key factors.

Overall, the district consistently outperforms Texas state averages across nearly all subjects and grade levels, with the high school and middle school forming a strong math pipeline. However, the decline in middle school rankings and the performance gap between the two elementary schools are areas for parents to watch, as they suggest differing needs and outcomes within the same district.
